When they set off the next day, Han Mingyuan went ahead, and Han Xiao had to wait for Xing Yi so he had to leave a day later.
This also allowed Ruanruan to have a good rest for a day, and Han Xiao was ready to set off after Xing Yi came back.
This time they traveled light, and the other servants in the house followed Han Mingyuan.
So the second group only consisted of Han Xiao and the young master and his group of five.
After loading the carriage, Han Xiao checked it again before saying, "Let's go."
The young master climbed onto the soft cushions in the carriage, humming in comfort. He was so happy when there was ice.
Han Xiao also made him some iced juice. The young master lay down and took another sip of the juice that Chuyi fed to his mouth. He felt extremely comfortable.
This was the scene Han Xiao saw when he came in.
Han Xiao went forward and sat next to the young master and said gently: "Ranrun, take a nap. The journey may take some time."
The young master nodded, but his innocent eyes stared straight at Han Xiao. "Husband, you sleep with me."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch her. Han Xiao moved the corner of his mouth and put the little master's head on his lap, then covered him with a thin blanket.
The young master twisted his body, found a comfortable position and began to sleep.
Recently, because of the ice cubes, the young master has started to like being close to Han Xiao again.
Both of them are young and energetic, so exercise in the evening is basically indispensable.
The carriage slowly drove along the pipeline. Few people were out in this weather. Gradually, the wind picked up in the sky. Xing Yi looked at the clouds and said, "Sir, it might rain."
Han Xiao lifted the curtain and took a look: "Then hurry up and try to get to Jingxin Villa before nightfall."
"Yes." Xing Yi agreed, and with a flick of the reins, the horse's speed increased a bit.
The young master slept soundly, and the bumps in the carriage did not affect him at all.
Han Xiao looked at the sky, which seemed to be about to rain and storm, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
As the dark clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, the sky gradually darkened. Suddenly, there was a loud thunderclap. The young master shuddered and woke up shaking.
Han Xiao quickly hugged the young master: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just raining and thundering, don't be afraid of it."
The young master was still in a daze and in shock as he hugged Han Xiao and nodded uneasily.
The raindrops finally fell, hitting the roof of the carriage with a crackling sound.
"Why is it raining?" It was clearly a clear sky when they went out.
The weather in summer is like a child's face, changing at any time.
"Well, I'll ask Xing Yi to speed up and be patient."
The young master shook his head. He didn't feel unwell, but Han Xiao was always worried that he would feel unwell.
As the sky grew darker, Han Xiao's uneasiness grew. Seeing that they had reached a deserted area, Han Xiao said to Xing Yi in a deep voice, "Xing Yi, hurry up. I feel something is wrong."
Xing Yi obviously felt it as well. He was an alien and had been to the battlefield, so his perception of danger was stronger than Han Xiao's.
So Xing Yi never relaxed from the beginning, and kept glancing around with his peripheral vision.
Just when Xing Yi was concentrating, a sharp arrow came through the rain curtain. The sharp sound directly tore through the air and went straight to Xing Yi's eyebrows.
Xing Yi dodged quickly by moving sideways, and the sharp arrow hit the carriage.
Hearing the noise outside, Han Xiao's whole body tensed up. These people finally came.
The young master was frightened and turned pale, huddled uneasily in Han Xiao's arms.
Chuyi and Shiwu had been in the carriage, and they immediately became alert when they heard the noise outside.
Han Xiao looked at the five of them. He didn't know how many people Chu Jinglin had secretly deployed. He just hoped that these people could protect them.
He cursed in his heart, and when he raised his head again, Han Xiao's eyes were full of ruthlessness.
Suddenly, there were bursts of footsteps coming from all directions. Han Xiao asked Xing Yi to stop the carriage, otherwise the horses would be frightened and they would be in greater danger.
Pulling the young master behind him, Han Xiao walked out of the carriage. The heavy rain outside hit them, and soon their clothes were all wet.
The young master looked around nervously.
Xing Yi, Chuyi and Shiwu immediately stood in front of Han Xiao.
Chuyi's face was solemn: "Uncle, please take the young master away first."
Han Xiao didn't say anything, just stared at the people who were getting closer and closer. They were all wearing ordinary people's coarse cloth shorts and looked unremarkable, but the cold light in their eyes hinted at their extraordinary identities.
"I don't know why you stopped my carriage. If you need money, I will give it to you."
Although Han Xiao said this, he didn't think they were just here for money.
These people didn't say anything, but they moved closer to Han Xiao and his companions with swords in their hands. One of them, who seemed to be the leader, made a gesture, and they immediately rushed forward.
Xing Yi took out the short knife from his waist and rushed forward, knocking down one of them immediately.
The leader was very surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a capable person around Han Xiao.
Xing Yi's face was expressionless: "Young Master, you go first, I will stop them."
Just as they rushed over, a dozen more people rushed out from somewhere. Now the whole wilderness was filled with the sound of weapons clashing, which was very harsh.
Han Xiao's expression relaxed a little. Fortunately, the people left behind by Chu Jinglin arrived.
There are about 20 people in this group, and it is not realistic for Xing Yi to stop them alone. So with Chu Jinglin's people there, the pressure on Xing Yi will be less.
What Han Xiao didn't expect was that there were so many of them, and some of them were shooting arrows from the dark. Seeing another sharp arrow coming straight towards Han Xiao, he blocked it in front of him. The man cut off the sharp arrow with a knife and handed Han Xiao a knife: "Go!"
Han Xiao made a prompt decision, turned around, and pulled the young master toward the dense forest on the side of the road, with Chuyi and Shiwu following behind to cover their retreat.
When the leader saw Han Xiao was about to run away, he immediately ordered the others to chase him, and the scene became more and more chaotic.
Seeing that more and more people were catching up, Han Xiao's eyes became more and more serious.
Soon, more than a dozen people surrounded Han Xiao and his group. Han Xiao pursed his lips, held the young master's hand with one hand, and clenched the long sword in his hand.
At this time, Fifteen and New Year stood in front of Han Xiao.
Chuyi whispered, "Uncle, take the young master away first! Leave this to me and Shiwu."
These two little brothers grew up with the young master, and Han Xiao didn't want to be protected by two weak little brothers, so he said: "You take Ruanruan away, I will..."
Before Han Xiao finished speaking, he saw Shiwu rushing towards the crowd and grabbing one person's soft hand with one hand, turning it into a deadly claw.
Before the killer could react to what was happening, his head went limp and he died.
Han Xiao was stunned. Is this... is this still the not-so-smart Fifteen?
How could it be so... so brutal?
There weren't many assassins on the other side who wanted to kill them, so they could only say it was self-defense.
Fifteen seemed to be in an empty space, no one could get close to his body, and anyone he caught would die.
That means having his neck strangled by Fifteen.
Han Xiao touched his neck uncomfortably, then looked at Chuyi.
